According to GamecockCentral.com, Marcquis Roberts won’t be with the team for his junior season. Roberts, a 6-foot-1, 216-pound weakside linebacker, started 15 games and appearing in all 26 games for the Gamecocks over the past two seasons.
After missing his first two seasons with serious injuries, both of which earned him a medical redshirt, Roberts made his way into the starting lineup in 2013 and was fifth on the team with 48 tackles. He also registered 3.5 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks.
Roberts recorded 31 tackles and 1.5 tackles for loss in 2014 and wasn’t expected to participate in spring practice as he works his way back from shoulder surgery.
Roberts, who has two seasons of eligibility remaining, becomes the ninth scholarship player to depart the program since the conclusion of the 2014 regular season. In addition to Roberts, linebacker Kaiwan Lewis, defensive end Mason Harris, defensive tackles Na’Ty Rodgers and Deon Green, fullback Gerald Turner, wide receivers Shaq Roland and K.J. Brent, and tight end Drew Owens have all left the Gamecocks.
The Gamecocks went 7-6 in 2014.
